General Access Servers
The College of Computing has a number of remotely accessible machines
(located in the CoC Machine Room, CCB 247) that are available for general use
by faculty, staff and graduate students. The following table lists these
remotely accessible systems. Please observe suggestions and restrictions regarding the
appropriate uses of these machines. If you plan to do work that will tax the
system resources (compute cycles, disk space, etc.), please coordinate this
with the TSO Helpdesk beforehand. Any changes with respect to machine
availability will be announced via the TSO system notices web page or via e-mail, depending on the
urgency of the information.

Office of Information Technology (OIT)
Using your campus GT account, there are additional facilities available to you as a member of the Georgia Tech community The general access facilities of interest include:
| NAME | TYPE | LOCATION | USE |
| acme.gatech.edu | Login-time load sharing between four Sun Fire v440 systems (each 4 x 1.6GHz UltraSPARC IIIi) |
Rich Bldg Computer Room (133 Rich) |
• general purpose • remote login • instruction, class assignments • mailboxes, news • database storage and retrieval |
As indicated, acme actually refers to several systems. When connecting to it, you will be assigned to one of the systems in a fashion this is supposed to spread the load among the available machines. See the section on Instructional Labs for information on additional College and OIT facilities which are generally accessible, secondary to their primary purpose of supporting instruction.
